A Moodle theme is a pre-designed user "view" (interface) that can be changed by the site administrator, teacher, or student. While robust, it does not affect how Moodle functions, just how it looks. Moodle comes with a standard set of themes and there is a large free library available to download.
Moodle themes
Themes may be selected at site level, course level and/or user level as long as the Moodle site has been configured to allow changes at these levels.
